Suspected human remains recovered from site of major house fire, officials say
The blaze was reported shortly before 3 a.m. Friday at a house on Normandy Heights Road in Morris Township, officials said. The residents of the home, identified as Robert Ricciardi, 87, and Gemma Ricciardi, 85, were missing and presumed dead Friday, the county prosecutor’s office said Friday.
“Yesterday afternoon, the suspected remains of two individuals were located and recovered from the fire damaged structure on Normandy Heights Road in Morris Township. No further details or comments will be provided pending examination of the human remains by the Morris County Medical Examiner’s Office,” Thomas Schmid, assistant prosecutor for the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office said Sunday.
Efforts to recover the couple continued more than twelve hours after the blaze broke out, officials said. “Repeated efforts by firefighters to enter the burning structure to search for victims were unsuccessful due to the extensive scope of the conflagration,” Morris County Prosecutor Robert J. Carroll said in a statement.“There was heroic efforts here by the police, fire, EMS. Heroic efforts to try to rescue people inside that house, we are in the recovery mode right now,” Morris County Sheriff James Gannon told reporters at the scene.Our journalism needs your support.
